Volume 1 Beauty Tears Chapter 9 How to choose a talented general

The teenagers left one after another, and it seemed that something very important was missing, and they did not smile for three days. There is an extra jade pendant on the neck, and a folding fan in front of the dresser. The girl doesn't know how to choose, Liu Zhixing's chic Zhang Bai's steadiness. The two faces seemed to appear in the bronze mirror, and before they knew it, the two of them had already walked into their hearts.

The scorching wind blew through the window on the girl's face, and a familiar voice came in the wind: "Is Sister Yulian here?" ”

The girl Xiuwen walked through the courtyard door and pushed open the door, and the sound of the door opening interrupted the girl's thoughts, and subconsciously stuffed the jade pendant into her chest. The folding fan on the dresser didn't have time to put it in the drawer, so Xiuwen stepped forward and looked at the girl with a nervous expression, and casually held the folding fan in her hand. Yulian snatched it with great dexterity and held the folding fan in her hand to open the drawer.

"This is the folding fan of the Zhang family's son, is it the token of love. I didn't expect that I had come to this point in private, and it seems that the day of drinking wedding wine is not far off. Quipped him.

Yulian said embarrassedly: "What's the matter, I just gave a fan." There is no other meaning, Sister Wen, you think too much. ”

picked up a wooden comb to comb Yulian's hair, feeling a little sad in his heart. Liu Zhixing just left, without saying a word to himself. I'm afraid that I didn't want to say goodbye to myself at all, and I didn't even have a signal to leave. Is that how bad you are?

Gently brushing his black hair, he asked, "Liu Zhixing really didn't know what to do, so he left without saying a word." It's not to say goodbye to Xiaohua, do you know that the little girl really likes him, Brother Liu. That is, I was locked up at home by my aunt these days, and I don't know how to make trouble after some years. ”

Suddenly found that there was an extra red silk thread around Yulian's neck, and reached out to touch the red rope Yulian immediately covered her chest: "What are you going to do." ”

Gently take out the jade pendant, the jade pendant texture is ordinary, that is, an ordinary piece of jade. The turquoise jade pendant is a piece of high-quality jade, how Xiuwen can't see where Peach Blossom Village can afford such jade. Let's not talk about carving, let's just say that jade of this size is also worth hundreds of taels of silver. Xiuwen's memory is very good, and Liu Zhixing, who practiced in Taoyuan, had such a jade pendant on his chest.

Staring at Yu Pei, there was a moment of envy, and Yulian, who was happy in her heart, could see Xiuwen's expression at that moment. I only heard Xiuwen say: "This is given to you by Liu Gongzi, this is a big hand, it looks like this is a good piece of jade." I remember that my father's piece of jade was not very good, and the workmanship was rude and cost thirty taels of silver. I'm afraid that this piece of jade has hundreds of taels of silver, it seems that Liu Gongzi is not just talking. ”

Yulian looked back at Xiuwen and asked, "I don't know how they are now." He took the folding fan out of the drawer with one hand.

Liu Zhixing, who left from Taohua Village, hurried up and traveled day and night for two days. A white-armored horse entered the Fenyang Military Town, and there was not even a guard at the city gate. The young man's worries became heavier and heavier, and he was afraid that General Lin would lead the army into the hinterland of Southern Chu as Zhang Bai said. How could the 200,000 troops of Southern Chu invade the border of Daliang be so vulnerable, and the 300 soldiers led by himself three months ago were scattered in the face of a thousand-strong army of Southern Chu in just one charge.

It is conceivable that the military of Southern Chu is not as weak as rumored, and Southern Chu has always been rich, and the overall strength of the military and government has been rectified in recent years. After the current Southern Chu Emperor ascended the throne, the politics were clear, and the throne did not come smoothly and did not shake the country's foundation. In ten years, Southern Chu has changed, if the 100,000 troops of the Great Liang can repel the Southern Chu army, it is still believed. If you don't dare to imagine attacking the hinterland, it is clearly a trap. What Liu Zhixing was most afraid of was that General Lin had written a book to invade the Southern Chu border a long time ago, and now that he had a great opportunity in front of him, he might really do that.

One person and one horse galloped to the general's mansion, still the two guards. Seeing Liu Zhixing, he shouted, "General Liu." ”

Liu Zhixing said with an anxious voice: "Lin Shuai is not here." ”

The left guard said: "A month ago, Lin Shuai rashly went out of the city to fight a decisive battle with Southern Chu, and good news came ten days ago. There is no news yet, and now Vice General Chen is stationed in Fenyang. ”

Nodding slightly, striding into the mansion, the two guards were a little strange. Wasn't it three months ago that General Liu was patrolling ten miles away from Fenyang and encountered a Nanchu scout and was served in a pot? It's a little strange to say it now. The two of them just glanced at each other, and they were still quite happy in their hearts. Liu Zhixing has always had a legend in the army that Wen Taowu is not at all like other nobles joining the army. Don't look at it as just a captain, he is also a person who can speak in this general's mansion, not only because General Lin likes it so simply.

Walking into the lobby, a man in his forties stared at a geographical map of the frontier, with only two lieutenants beside him. Liu Zhixing broke in and shouted: "General Chen Lin Shuai has news." ”

The middle-aged man was dressed in black armor and had a red cloth on his forehead. Seeing the young man return, the man was still very happy, especially the lieutenant in his early thirties strode forward and punched Liu Zhixing in the chest and said, "Let's just say that your kid has a big life, and only a thousand people can still die." ”

Chen Geng watched the young man move his finger away from the map, and looked at the young man with a normal appearance. has been missing for more than three months without any news, and Lin Shuai can't be said to have gone out of the army this time because he has a little reason for Liu Zhixing. Others don't know him, how could Chen Geng not know that Lin Shuai has already regarded the young man in front of him as a mantle inheritance. said lightly: "Zhixing is back." ”

The young man pushed the lieutenant away and said, "I'll talk about it later, the last general feels that Lin Shuai's attack is strange." In the past two days, the entire three border cities have been inspected, and each city has almost less than 3,000 garrisons. This can be said to be the biggest active battle in the past 20 years of Daliang, Lin Shuai rashly 100,000 troops actually walked out of the border of Daliang to fight a decisive battle with the Southern Chu army, there is no geographical advantage to achieve a big victory, don't you think there is a big problem? ”

The three of them watched the boy walk to the side of the map, and were about to speak, Chen Geng held the desk with both hands and stared at the young man. With unwillingness in his eyes, Liu Zhixing looked at the vast plains on the border. Where is the location of the decisive battle, and it is also the location where Lin Shuai defeated Nanchu. The distance between the forces of the two sides in a plain was so large that the Changfeng army had almost no chance of victory. At this time, it was also seen from Chen Geng's eyes that he did not know, Liu Zhixing stared at Chen Geng's melancholy eyes.

"General Chen, you know that attacking Nanchu is a trap, so why did Lin Shuai lead his brothers to die."

The two captains also lost their previous joy, Chen Geng said: "The 100,000 Changfeng Army has been guarding Nanjing for more than ten years, and Nanchu has sent troops three times in total. Lin Shuai won three big victories, and the one five years ago was the total annihilation of 30,000 elite white-armored heavy cavalry in Southern Chu, expanding from the Seven Cities to the entire Southern Mirror to now in the hands of the Changfeng Army. Since Lin Shuai was named General Huaihua 12 years ago, he has been conscientious for 12 years, and he cannot afford to lose a single whistle or card. Thankfully, you know what I mean by saying this to you. ”

What kind of person Liu Zhixing is, how could he not know what Chen Geng meant, and which one in Taiping City was afraid. A general with an army of 100,000 in his hands, his prestige in the army for twelve years is far above him. Once there are two hearts, these 100,000 border troops will move north.

shouted: "Your Majesty is confused, Lin Shuai can't do this at all." Is this the meaning of His Majesty or Zhang An's attention, or the meaning of King Jin'an. ”

Chen Geng shook his head and said: "Your Majesty has no idea who can control it, the most ridiculous thing is that Lin Shuai thinks that a small defeat in Jiangdong and retreating to the city can also block the mouths of those people." ”

But Lin Shuai actually won more with less, and the 200,000 army was defeated in one day and did not resist. It seems that the big victory is actually Lin Shuai in a dilemma, if there will be more wind and rain on the side of the court of the class. ”

"It's not as simple as you think, if so, it will make Lin Shuai not have to take such a risk. Have you ever heard the news of reforming the military and political affairs and disarming them? The first one to be cut was the Changfeng Army, not to say that it was to reduce the number of troops, but to divide the border army into three. The three commanders are stationed together on the frontier, and the Changfeng Army will cease to exist. ”

Liu Zhixing didn't know what the Changfeng Army symbolized in Nanjing, as long as the three sons of the Changfeng Army were mentioned, they were the big beams. If the Changfeng Army is cut and the Liang is weak in Nanjing for a long time, Nanchu will not be able to unify the command of the eighteen border cities if he wants to enter the customs.

Lying on the map and looking at the marching route, I was depressed in my heart, and the literati had misunderstood the country since ancient times. Now there is only a way to save the 100,000 Changfeng Army, and perhaps everyone who has embarked on that path has put their lives on the line. Looking at the plain, Liu Zhixing said: "General Chen actually has no need to attack, as long as he retreats to Southern Chu, he will definitely attack the city again." ”

Chen Geng looked at the young man and asked, "What do you say?" ”

"You see the 100,000 Changfeng army fighting a decisive battle on the plains against the 200,000 Southern Chu army, including 50,000 white-armored heavy cavalry. If this army is handed over to General Chen, he dare not say that it is the total annihilation of the Changfeng army. Even if you win, it's not unavoidable, but why you do it. ”

The lieutenant slapped the table heavily and said, "The Taiping collaborator knows about His Majesty's secret order and wants to annihilate the Changfeng Army." ”

Liu Zhixing pointed to a mountain area and said, "General Chen has an idea. ”

"Say."

"From now on, all the eighteen border cities will be dispatched to guard the crossing, and Lin Shuai will definitely pass through here if he withdraws his troops. It is believed that there will be Nanchu ambush soldiers here. As long as 10,000 soldiers hold the pass, Lin Shuai should have a chance to counterattack, I don't know what General Chen thinks. ”

The white-clothed boy in Qinghe County returned home from Peach Blossom Village and did not leave his room for three consecutive days. There are all kinds of wild history secrets in the room, and there are the most about Mr. Zhou. From the essays of his youth to the poems of recent years, he has passed one by one, and he only laments what a legendary figure he is. During the period of the first emperor, he was invited many times to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he only wanted to teach and educate people. It was not until the Great Reform that he became an official and served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. Until Qinghe's three years of upright officialdom were proud, he resolutely resigned and returned to his hometown.

After reading Liu Zhixing's letters many times, his Chinese pen is excellent, and it is no worse than himself. In particular, a good handwriting is important for the value of the letter. The young man, who finally made up his mind to believe in Pingshui's belief once, pushed open the door and shouted, "Xiao Wu packed up and saluted, let's go to Taiping City." ”

The young scholar saw that the young man was ready to go out with his bags on his back, and Xiao Wu knew that the young master would go to that city, but he didn't expect to come so quickly. A gorgeously dressed woman approached and watched her son go out of the house. When I came back from Peach Blossom Village three days ago, I only said one sentence: I want to go to Taiping City.

Zhang Bai didn't know what to say when his mother came, and his mother never wanted to inherit the family business for 20 years. Since childhood, four books and five classics have been placed at the head of the bed, and my father once said that how much money a person has is not as good as an official body. To be the richest man in a county has reached the top, and how great the power of a county order is. If you want to make a fortune in the history books, it is not how much money you have, but how many things you have done.

The woman said, "Bo'er, you have decided to go." ”

Zhang Bai said very seriously: "It's decided, that city will have to go sooner or later, just a few years in advance." ”

He took out a couple of large silver tickets with a letter on them. Zhang Bai knew that this was a friend of his father's, who worked as a small official in Kyoto. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that the prime minister's concierge is a third-grade official, and this is not a talk. Although a small official in Kyoto is not as small as a prefectural order, he can see that he has obtained no less than a prefectural order.

"Go, Bo'er has grown up. That's all my father can do, and when I go to Kyoto, I can find you Uncle Li first. ”

nodded silently, seeing her mother's reluctance. Zhang Bai called Xiao Wu to lead the horse out of the side door, looked at his mother's reluctance and said, "Go back, Bai'er will definitely be able to." ”

The two teenagers turned on their horses, not knowing that they had embarked on an unusual path.

A middle-aged man walked up behind the woman and said, "Bo'er is gone." ”

Yulian of Peach Blossom Village looked at the folding fan and held the jade pendant in her heart, and she didn't know how to choose, Xiuwen only had the jade pendant in her eyes. I envy how Yulian could get Liu Zhixing's favor, if there is no marriage contract, maybe there is still a chance. It's just that fate is too shallow and I met too late. How much should there be a year earlier, and there will be no marriage contract with any reckless man. It's time to get married next year, and Xiuwen doesn't want to accept his fate.

said: "Yulian Zhang Gongzi He Liu Zhixing what do you like that." ”

The girl looked at herself in the bronze mirror, and there were two teenagers in her eyes. One in white armor holds a gun, and the other in white clothes reads. Both of them are dressed in white, where is a green dress, and how can a daughter marry two langjun.
